New Sustainability Reporting Requirements - ESG Reporting
Context Setting
ESG
reporting in India started in 2009 with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA)
issuing the Voluntary Guidelines on Corporate Social Responsibility
as the first step towards mainstreaming the concept of business responsibility.
In
2013, India became the first country to mandate corporate social responsibility
with the Companies Act of 2013.
In
2021, SEBI issued a circular introducing the Business Responsibility and
Sustainability Report (BRSR), which will replace the Business Responsibility
Reporting (BRR). The new reporting format outlines mandatory ESG policies and
requirements for the top 1000 listed companies by market capitalization
Objective
New
sustainability reporting requirements are aimed at securing transparent and
standardized disclosures by companies on their ESG parameters and
sustainability-related risks. This approach is expected to help companies
better demonstrate their sustainability objectives, position, and performance to
the market, resulting in long-term value creation and increasing the ability of
investors to make informed ESG-related decisions.
